After the draw against Napoli, Inter coach Luciano Spalletti had the following to say about tonight’s hardfought draw away at the Stadio San Paolo when speaking with Sky Sport Italia.

“We performed great against a great opponent. We bring home an important point after an important performance. It is obvious that if you analyse the players and their mentality there is a lot to improve. We want to do have an important season in the Serie A and tonight we got the chance to play well and to do even better. Napoli came from a tough game in the Champions League, maybe our players could have tried to challenge them more.”

Spalletti was asked about Inter’s chances of winning the Serie A saying: “I do not want to talk about the scudetto. We are still growing as a team, we are getting some good results but there are certain things where we can improve. We are at the same level as Napoli, sometimes we control the game, sometimes we do not manage to get even two passes to the right address. That is where we have to improve.”

In conclusion Spalletti was asked about Icardi’s performance: “He is used to working hard behind the line of defence, of course he could help out more.”
